UNSPSC 51172441: Calcium carbonate/famotidine/magnesium hydroxide

This classification denotes a combination drug defined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in its (VA's) National Drug File (NDF), which falls under VA Drug Class GA199. This VA Drug Class (GA199) classifies this compound as belonging to the group ANTACIDS, OTHER.

UNSPSC 51172441 Calcium carbonate/famotidine/magnesium hydroxide is a Commodity code with minimal documented state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code—offender drug testing services, direct-to-manufacturer pharmacy initiatives, and generic pharmaceutical cooperative purchasing—do not match the antacid-combination product category named in the code itself. The mismatch suggests either data-tagging inconsistency in state procurement systems or that this specific pharmaceutical combination sees little current solicitation activity under its assigned code.

The three recent records show activity by Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department (drug testing RFP, posted July 9, 2026, due July 23, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (pharmacy RFI, April 3, 2026), and the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance administered by the Minnesota Department of Administration (generic pharmaceuticals RFP, posted January 20, 2026, due March 26, 2026). Geographic distribution spans Texas and Minnesota, with Minnesota's MMCAP extending to participating Oregon jurisdictions. Because the tagged opportunities address clinical laboratory testing, broader pharmacy benefit management, and multi-source generic drugs rather than the specific calcium carbonate/famotidine/magnesium hydroxide formulation, this code appears to carry low signal value for vendors targeting state and local antacid procurement. Firms pursuing pharmaceutical supply contracts should monitor cooperative purchasing vehicles like MMCAP and state health commission RFPs directly rather than rely on this code's recent posting history.
